Every kid deserves a great public school.
I'm Jordan Ellis: a Demo City Public Schools graduate, a middle-school science teacher and a parent. I'm running for School Board to put students first.
Join our team
What I'll fight for
Big goals, built on what teachers, parents and students tell me every day.
Smaller classes
No more than 24 students in any K–3 classroom.
Teachers who stay
Competitive pay and real mentoring, so great teachers build careers here.
Healthy, safe schools
Counselors in every building, free meals and safe routes to school.
Open books
Every dollar of the district budget online, in plain English.
A teacher who knows the classroom
For nine years I've taught seventh-grade science at Roosevelt Middle School. I've bought the lab supplies myself, stayed late with kids who needed it and watched great colleagues leave for districts that pay more.
I know what works in our schools, and what needs to change.

Keep the arts in our schools
The district wants to cut music and art at four elementary schools. Add your name and tell the board to keep them.
917 people have signed. Help us reach 1,500!
